My Own Pokemon Cards

I don’t actually know much about Pokemon cards. I’ve see Pokemon cartoons and given grand kids Pokemon toys and I have certainly spent a lot of time crocheting plenty of the different Pokemon characters.

But the cards?

I don’t know anything about how to read them or understand them.

I’m sure you’re thinking, why should I care? You need to understand the pack I run with. All my kids AND their kids seem to know everything there is to know about Pokemon cards and to be honest…

I started feeling a little…

left out.

So, when Jillian’s Josh was headed off to spend a few weeks in Japan, I thought, “Bwahaha! Now’s my chance!”…

and I asked him if he would bring me back some…

Pokemon cards!

And to my surprise— HE DID!!!

Now I finally feel like part of the group. I still don’t know anything about the cards–and they’re in Japanese anyway, but I have plenty of people to help me, so it will be awesome.

Best of all– I can, you know…

be part of the cool crowd.

And I’ll love it.

 

PS–The first thing Rhen said when he saw my cards was, “We’ve got to get you some sleeves. Josh said I’ll need a binder too.

Hee, hee. It’s already getting fun.

Things To Love…

this week…

One of my new favorite books given to me for my birthday–thanks Lyndi! Written so beautifully. Seriously an unforgettable tragic, powerful love story.

It is an incredible book.

Rows and rows and rows of more lovely books–that makes my soul happy just to look at them.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Sourdough bread that fills the house with a heavenly Autumn scent everytime I toast a slice. Yummmmo.

Getting allllll the the doTERRA Convention Kits in the mail in one giant box! Wahooo!

Listening to General Conference…always my favorite thing to do.

Fried eggs on toast with frozen fruit for breakfast.

My wild calico kitty key chain that hangs on my purse. I get a lot of questions about this little cutie.

Scrambled eggs, ham and sourdough toast for breakfast. Yum, again.

Finding the perfect place for my awesome oils–keeping them right where I can grab them in a second.

Conference crepes…and bacon…and hash browns…and scrambled eggs.

Oh myyyy.

So much fun stuff to love and be happy about.

What about you? What are YOU grateful for?

Rainy Days

We’ve had quite a bit of rain around here in the last week or so.

Of course, it’s never exactly enough…

for me.

That is, unless it’s flooding up onto the sidewalk.

Even then, the look of it pouring down…

the sound of it pounding on my metal roof…

and most of all the smell of it–

that makes me want to stand on the porch until I’m soaked–

it just makes me soooooo happy.

I kinda think it makes my yard happy too.

Heh, heh.

Things To Love…

on a Friday.

Sweet kids having a King Kong Cone festival. Why wasn’t I there?!

Having a luscious bees’ wax and honey lotion bar from my cute friend’s daughter’s very own bees. Heavenly.

A brave, sweet girlie who is trying to be kind and gentle with Mr. Hobbes–even when he is a little scary sometimes.

Roasted red pepper soup and a triple grilled cheese sandwich. The perfect meal to ward off a scratchy throat.

A cute girl that refuses to stop getting taller! Quit it. Quit it!.

The perfectly toasted marshmallows.

A little kitty who watches everything I do…very, very closely….

even from a silly box.

Good old Mary Poppins floating through a Starry, Starry Night.

The positively perfect breakfast.

Seeing this familiar car with the Arkansas plates in front of me, even if it was just for a week or so.

Pictures of the new Rexburg temple under construction.

Picking a dvd to watch with the grandkids. Nim’s Island won.

My daughter-in-law’s new book Light Among the Shadows.

How about you? What are you loving right now?
